Chapter 2006, good luck
After successfully building the seventh Kyushu Cauldron, he didn't know if it was Luo Ji's illusion, but he felt that the rest of his life was going smoothly.
It may be that the Heavenly Dynasty with the Kyushu Cauldron has good luck.
No, not long after the main battle tank was developed and officially put into production, Bart Wildhammer, the deputy director of his Ordnance Research Department, brought him another big surprise.
On the outskirts of Spiegel City, at the test site of the Ordnance Research Department, Luo Ji held the rifle in his hand, took aim through the scope, and then directly pulled the trigger.
Accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, the bullet that escaped from the gun directly hit the bullseye 400 meters away, making the onlookers couldn't help but shout "Hello".
This is hardly false flattery.
It turns out that the maximum effective range of their standard rifle of the civilization of all worlds, the Thunder Seven, is only 500 meters, and it can hit the bull's eye from 400 meters away. This is considered a good shot even in the military.
Of course, the rifle Luo Ji was holding at this time was obviously not the Thunder Seven. After all, many years had passed since the end of the all-out war.
In these years, although Bart Wildhammer has been concentrating on the development of dwarf tanks and combat vehicles, the improvement and upgrading of the Thunder series rifles has actually never stopped, but it has been affected by other projects.
R&D efficiency is a bit slow.
Now, the model of the rifle in Luo Ji's hand is Thunder-10!
From the model, you can see how many times this Thunder series standard rifle has been officially improved and upgraded.
At the 400-meter range, after firing a shot, Luo Ji stepped back leisurely.
Then, when they reached the position of 450 meters, Luo Ji did not see any action of unloading and loading the gun. The trigger was directly pulled, and along with the flying shell case, another bullet flew out, hitting the bullseye again!
Luo Ji kept moving after that, maintaining the rhythm of firing once every fifty meters back, firing while retreating.
Until six hundred meters away, a shot hit the bullseye on the outer circle, causing everyone to scream in surprise.
At that time, Luo Ji's only thought was...
"Good luck."
There is nothing to be pretentious about, luck is luck.
The distance of six hundred meters is much farther than it sounds!
If, within five hundred meters, Luo Ji could still confidently say that his accuracy was pretty good, then after five hundred meters, his accuracy began to drop significantly.
At the position of 600 meters, if he did not activate the 'Precision Shooting' skill, he could not miss the target, but being able to hit the outer bullseye was definitely luck. He himself admitted that because this distance can be regarded as a target.
The sniper distance was too high, and he was not a professionally trained sniper.
Then he continued to retreat, and after firing two more shots, he completed the entire range and accuracy test of the Thunder-10.
At this time, some people should have noticed that the Thunder-10 is not a bolt-action rifle at all, but a serious semi-automatic rifle.
To put it simply, it is a rifle that does not require the operation of unloading and loading. You can directly pull the trigger and fire a bullet until all the bullets are empty. That is called a semi-automatic rifle.
A rifle that keeps firing until all the bullets are empty when the trigger is pulled is called an automatic rifle.
Now back to the topic, this Thunder-10 is obviously the latest research result of Bart Wildhammer.
It has a caliber of 7.62 mm, and the total length of the gun is 1.1 meters. It has a wooden stock as always and feels first-class. The empty gun weighs 4.4 kilograms. It also comes with a scope and can load eight rounds of bullets. It can be unloaded and loaded.
The operation is very smooth and there is no jamming phenomenon. The current maximum effective range is 710 meters.
But in fact, in Luo Ji's opinion, if it were used by ordinary soldiers, it wouldn't be able to go that far at all.
As mentioned before, ordinary soldiers are not snipers, and they do not have the ability to be snipers. Let alone 700 meters or 500 meters away, for them, it is all about luck.
Group shooting does not count. If you want an ordinary soldier to shoot accurately, you have to wait for them to rush within 300 meters, or even within 200 meters.
Therefore, according to Luo Ji's idea, what ordinary soldiers need is not this kind of semi-automatic rifle with a range of 700 meters. What they need is the kind of automatic rifle that can shoot without thinking when the trigger is pulled. In terms of effective range,
Three to four hundred meters is enough.
However, the Thunder-10 should be produced.
It's just that while it was being produced, Luo Ji also told Bart Wildhammer about his vision for the 'automatic rifle'.
Regarding this range issue, Bart Wildhammer is actually aware of it. After all, the Thunder-10 has reached the point where it has to be equipped with a sight for assistance, so he is actually quite aware of it.
However, Luo Ji's idea of "lowering the shooting distance, increasing the bullet loading capacity, and just pulling the trigger to enable high-frequency continuous shooting" opened up a new idea for Bart Wildhammer.
Originally, semi-automatic rifles should also be one of the weapon thresholds for the gold tier.
However, before that, the big guys in his Chinese camp had already warned him.
To put it simply, the threshold is indeed a threshold, but all the players who have been promoted according to the threshold standard have been smashed, and no one is an exception.
Because none of the guys in the prime tier are staying near the threshold...
In other words, if you want to advance to the gold rank, you must be a dark horse beyond the standard, otherwise, passing the line is tantamount to courting death.
This made Luo Ji clearly realize that achieving this level was not enough.
At the same time, according to the standards of the big guys, if this semi-automatic rifle is used as the standard rifle that is equipped on a large scale by the civilized armies of all worlds, it may not be able to withstand the coming battle at all.
Because the big guys have made it clear that in the current golden tier, even the worst players, when they launch an attack, the main battle tanks will rush in front to clear the way, and the armored vehicles carrying troops will follow the main battle tanks.
Rush from behind.
This soldier would not stay outside at all before rushing into the enemy line.
And after they rushed into the enemy's position, the soldiers who came out of the armored vehicles were basically equipped with the latest automatic rifles.
Under this premise, the ordinary soldiers in your army who are equipped with semi-automatic rifles may not even have a chance to aim when facing those brainless guys...
Therefore, the standard rifle for the civilized armies of other worlds obviously needs to continue to be developed.
It's impossible to get through in the current prime tier with a semi-automatic rifle.
